Update – 1 March 2020
The planning application, ref. No. 19/05244/FULL1for the demolition of the detached garage and erection of a three-storey side extension and subdivision of the plot to form new 3-bedroom family dwelling with associated parking at 17 Ullswater Close Bromley BR1 4JF, has been refused.

The delegated report and decision notice are available. The proposal would involve the removal of an attractive mature protected oak tree; thereby significantly diminishing the public visual amenity of the local area contrary to Policies 73 and 74 of the Bromley Local Plan 2019. There is insufficient other reasoning to justify the loss of the tree.

The revised application purports to reflects the comments made by the case officer. In summary, they state:

As discussed above the revised development looks to be acceptable by the council and the existing trees seem to be what is stopping the development being granted. The new tree report produce by Bartlett Consulting brings new light to the conditions of the existing trees and the effect they are having on the existing property. With the shortage of family dwellings, we do believe self-build single family dwellings also play a major part in meeting housing councils housing supply targets. Please also refer to appendix.

The delegation report and decision are now available on the planning application, ref. No. 19/02643/FULL1, for the demolition of a detached garage, erection of a three-storey side extension and subdivision of the plot to form a new three-bedroom family dwelling with associated parking at 17 Ullswater Close, Bromley BR1 4JF.
The main issues considered in respect of this application were:
  • Principle and location of development
  • Design and landscaping
  • Standard of residential accommodation and neighbouring amenity
  • Highways
  • Sustainability
The application was refused for the following reasons:
  1. The proposal would involve further incursion in to the Root Protection Area (RPA) of protected trees; likely to harm their wellbeing, and would require the continual future pruning of protected trees; thereby diminishing their public visual amenity value and environmental importance contrary to Policies 73 and 74 of the Bromley Local Plan 2019.

  2. The proposed development would provide insufficient on-site parking leading to additional on-street parking which would be harmful to the amenities of the future residents and prejudicial to highway safety the free flow of traffic along the public highway and contrary to Policies 30 and 32 of the Bromley Local Plan 2019.
